As soon as I stepped outside, I ran right into a cop who had been stationed there.
"Excuse me, miss. This joint is currently being monitored by the police. You can't be here. I'm going to have to take you in."
I had to think fast. "But, you don't understand. I'm Tex's girlfriend." Well, we hadn't exactly established a relationship yet, but I was just as good as his girlfriend.
"I'm sorry, miss. Just come along quietly, now. You can explain it all to the cops when we go down there."
(I don't have any time to lose. Maybe I should pop him in the jaw and take off as fast as I can for my speeder. Go to 7.)
(I'm going to explain the situation to him and hope he'll understand. Go to 8.)
